The Melanurus Wrasse has been in my 55-gallon reef tank for three months. It’s active and peaceful, doesn’t eat corals, and blends well with the other fish. Easy to care for once the water parameters are stable.
Anne Ball –
I bought this wrasse for my intermediate reef setup. It’s calm and stays near the substrate. I’ve noticed it helps with cleaning algae, which is a nice bonus.
Jasmine Duncan –
Great addition to a 50-gallon tank. It’s not aggressive and has adapted well to the water conditions. The fish is healthy and active, and it’s a good fit for a peaceful community.
